Powerful and poignant.

Emotions can grab us when we’re not ready. Your mother had a lot of wisdom.

Good one, Fia.

Crying is a way for the body to release hormones that calm us down during stressful times.
Next time you cry, pause for a moment and reflect on why you’re crying.I doubt there will be a logical,solid,single reason.
Great write Fia 💋

Oh stop being so tough. LOL.
Everyone needs a good cry some time. Its how we flush our eyes out!
Hell, I even secretly cry a sad tic toc videos, in private! LOL.
I’m a softy at heart!

Great words, Fia. Now let it out! Cry!

I think I envy those who cry. I can’t seem to, and believe it’s not a healthy thing that I can’t. Most likely it was the trauma I suffered as a child that had me crying buckets until there just weren’t any more tears in me. I agree with your attitude about crying now, and believe your mother’s advice to be very wise. This is strong writing that has me thinking much about the subject.

It’s so much more of a powerful expression this way, in my opinion. It means that if you cry it actually means something. Such a beautiful expression of that.

Beautiful. It’s wonderful to have “control”. Not just in whether or not to cry.

I don’t cry many times. My poetry is my emotional release. But the last time I cried is when I lost my dog. When me and my wife got his nose print I just lost it. Don’t remember the last time I cried before then.

Great ink.

Powerfully penned, Fia. Into the book it belongs! This is an incredible write my friend, love the layers. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

Oh lordy…have you seen the movie The Holiday? I’m the Jude Law character…a weeper! Happy, sad, excited, confused…I’m a soggy mess. This is an interesting view though, seen from someone else’s perspective. Very nice!

Powerful work with punch.

First, I love the Esthetics of this piece. You really make the reader focus. The first line was on point. I enjoyed this.

Movement is EVERYTHING. And you certainly hit your stride in this piece. Too often seem to wanna wait on a “sign” before they’ll get off their asses & do something. If the thought whispers in the mind…move on it. That’s why it’s there.

Truth runs through everything – or should for Life’s sake! The ‘do unto others as..’ in any faith is the truth of existance, without it – all’s lost. Perhaps that explains the reason for our planet gradually fading into space even unreachable via Man’s ability. Maybe Al will win the contest – when it’s truthful enough to say how and – able. Fine writing, also a fine claim to fame by, perhaps, starting a debate

Love the flow and the T.R.U.T.H. in this. Must have missed seeing this one on the board when I was here the last few times. But that’s just like the truth….you have to go looking for it. Magickal as they are, we can’t depend or even subsist on thought & word alone. Actions…passions…are what makes it an earthly reality. It’s like the old truther meme says…”the world is not real yet everything you do matters”

Keeping this one.

Big thx, lady. I always appreciate your depth of insight.
And I’m also enjoy hearing about your shower escapades 🙂

This reminds me of the Latin phrase “Dum spiro, spero”: while I breathe, I hope. It’s sad but it’s not hopeless, and I love that.

No matter what I still hope. Beautiful.
